OXFORD, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) - Police say three people are hospitalized after being shot on Christmas Eve in Oxford, Michigan.

The suspect, 29, was recently released from prison years before his maximum sentence was over despite another weapons conviction while behind bars.

A witness says the Oxford Christmas Eve shooting suspect fired on good Samaritans who stopped to help him on side of the road.

OXFORD, Mich. — A victim of a shooting in Oxford, Michigan Tuesday night has died from their injuries. Three people were hospitalized as a result of the shooting, with the other two currently on the road to physical healing, according to officials.

Records indicate that the man who authorities say opened fire on Christmas Eve, killing one and injuring two, was just discharged from prison in July.

There appears to be no connection between the shooter, the victim, or the location where it happened, sheriff Michael Bouchard told FOX 2 on Thursday. Instead, he called the random shooting an “incredibly violent rampage.
